A light weight (and perhaps how well they hold to your ear) is everything when it comes to choosing a bluetooth headset for comfort. This list presents light headsets with a weight of less than 11 grams, which is generally below the average weight for Bluetooth headsets.

The List:

Considering its average rank of 87%, we determined that the Tranya T1 is currently Alphachooser's best lightweight headset 2018. We also believe that our 295 reviews sampled from our sources give us a high confidence level (more on confidence levels) that allows us to call it a "no-brainer best choice."

With its star rating of 4.5 over 87 reviews, we rank this Jabra model second best lightweight headset. * Btw, our choices are based on an in-depth analysis of hundreds of lightweight headset reviews from multiple sources.

The WF-1000X is a noise-insulated Bluetooth headset that fronts an adaptive sound control feature (which adjusts ambient sound filtering according to the user's environment and activity), but -- like most cord-free models -- balances this out with a less-than-spectacular 3-hour working time (9-hour, if the wireless charging case is fully used).

More light headsets, sorted by the latest model first:

The BT2047 is a light mono Bluetooth headset weighing just about 0.34 ounces and one of the thinnest at 16 mm, sports a maximum of eight paired devices and it can also connect to two devices simultaneously with Multiuse.

The Boom 2 is a classic mono Bluetooth headset with NFC, that features one of the lightest weight (at nine grams), a just-below-average talk time of six hours (15 minutes of charge provide 2.5 hours of use).

The Xperia Ear is a lightweight IPX2-rated Bluetooth headset with an app for Android phones called the Assistant app (to ask, command, and monitor everyday tasks), a motion control feature (yes/no through head movements), a charging case (good for at least three charges), and a rather brief 4-hour playback time.

The W800BT is a cord-free and noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset that boasts of a total of 18 hours of usage time and 10 days of stand-by upon full use of its accompanying charging case -- although its rather-short 3-hour usage time on its own may be inconvenient for some.

The S10 is a compact truly-wireless Bluetooth headset equipped with noise and echo-cancelling capabilities and an inductive-magnet wireless charging system which provides it with enough power for 200 hours of stand-by and eight hours of talk time, both of which are below the category average, but are reasonable as far as cord-free Bluetooth headsets are concerned.

The Apico is a mini lightweight Bluetooth headset for the right ear, offering fairly typical features like voice prompts, multipoint (up to two devices), and a 4-hour playback from 1.5 hours of charging.

The G10 is a lightweight 0.13-ounce Bluetooth headset whose 5-hour minimum working time is impressive for a cord-free device, but lacks features (that are mostly common among other models) like noise cancellation and/or an audio-enhancing technology.

The XR500 is an IPX7-waterproof sports Bluetooth headset with CVC 6.0 noise cancellation, aptX technology, and pretty decent working (9 hours) and stand-by (240 hours) times, considering that the battery it comes with is only 85 mAh.

The Apollo 7 is a pair of stylish truly-wireless earbuds, the first attempt of Erato on Bluetooth headsets in 2016 through Kickstarter, with 5.8mm drivers, six pairs of ear tips (three of which are Comply T-600 foams), and an aluminum body with IPX5-rated nano coating (sweat- and water-resistant).

Special features: This won the red dot award honorable mention for design in 2015

The G9 is an affordable mono Bluetooth headset designed to appear low-key, that disables its flashing status LED once paired successfully, strangely designed to be only worn on the user's right ear, and only delivering a below average 3-hour usage after its 2-hour charging time.

Special features: Once the headset is paired it will stop flashing its LED to remain discreet

The BHS-730 is a stylish Bluetooth headset featuring 8mm speakers encased in an aviation-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy, removable ear-hooks to secure them during workouts, cable management clips, a carrying case, and a 3.7-volt lithium-polymer battery for a standby time of 160 hours.

The Beats is an especially-lightweight cord-free Bluetooth headset running on version 4.1+EDR that is armed with sweat and moisture protection for active use, although its performance in terms of battery life falls short in comparison to other headset models.

The Ultra Mini is a lightweight cord-free Bluetooth headset using Bluetooth version 4.0 + EDR whose 90-hour stand-by time, four-hour talk time, and 3.5 hours of music playback fall significantly below the average specifications in its category.

The Explorer 500 is a stylish mono headset with a more recent Bluetooth version (4.1), up to six months of standby time in Deepsleep mode (24 days in normal standby mode), and multi-lingual notifications (French, Spanish, English).

The Earin M-1 is a pair of black stylish truly-wireless earbuds, the first Bluetooth headset of the wittingly-named audio company Earin, hailing from a Kickstarter project in 2014, comes in as one of the lightest sweat-, splash- and water-resistant pairs, at 3.5 grams, to provide 11 hours of playback time.
